Alaskan oil drilling won't likely generate much economically viable oil. Going to coal will be a climatic disaster. It should be discouraged as much as possible. Nuclear is still too dodgy as long as we don't know what to do with the waste. The US still doesn't have a permanent repository. It is also not very economcially viable. Natural gas is clearly where the next phase should be heading and will due to economic forces anyway if we don't tamper with the market except to correct the environmental side-effects. And there is plenty of that in those central Asian and Russian locations you favored. Gas burns cleaner, has less carbon emission per unit energy, is highly flexible, likely very abundant. It is also easily used in the next phase of energy technologies such as fuel cells.
